Genus PeripatoidesObserver
invertebratistDescription
Native bush, in wet plant litter among fallen Nikau fronds.
Body length 37 mm.(antennae not included)
Probably unnamed. I would call it Peripatoides aff. indica or P. aff. aurorbis.
Absolutely splendid & my very best find in 2022.
I am still crazy excited by this. The colour was literally velvet.
I released the individual after photography.
My post of this Velvet worm achieved 100k likes and 11 million impressions on my twitter(url)!

Field Notes - I could see the tuft of feathers around the top of the beak but could make out the bird's colour. I think it was a tawny frogmouth. about as big as a Raven maybe 35cm
